Good thinking - I have heard that regular applications of saltwater and glyphosphate helps them grow really big honest:nowink:

Seriously though - there is a site just dedicated to this http://howtogrowgiantpumpkins.blogspot.com/
where you should find a few tips.

Nettle tea, comfrey tea, and manure feed will all help

My fellow allotmenteer has just made some Nettle and comfrey tea, boy dose that stink, so far he has made a 45 gallon drum and now on his second making in an old wheely bin.
All on the end of my allotment.
So far my pumpkin's are about the size of a golf ball and only fed them once.
